Ask HN: What web software do you pay for as a consumer?
I think I've realized that most (all?) of the software I pay for offers a native iOS client. Sometimes, the stuff I pay for has no web client at all. What web-first software do you pay for?
Not all web-based software is bad, this is true. But it struggles to be good, according to my personal tastes. I typically find it annoying, so I prefer native applications.
Some web-based software is actually good, too. Although I don't personally care much for it, I think GMail objectively counts as a good software experience. Also, to be fair, there are native applications that are awful.
